In June of this year, unprecedented flood waters hit the Canadian province of Alberta, doing serious damage. During the emergency, all 13,000 residents of the town of High River were ordered to evacuate and the perimeter was secured by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The perimeter was maintained even after many surrounding municipalities allowed people to move back into undamaged homes and begin repairs on damaged ones.
When High River residents returned home, they found that the RCMP had kicked in the doors of thousands of houses and confiscated hundreds of guns. Not a dime in compensation for doors or guns has ever been paid, although some attempt at a process to do this has since been proposed. A reporter with the Toronto Sun put together a piece on what happened there, and maybe why.

Do they not have an equivalent of the 4th Amendment? Isn't this illegal under common law? I can't imagine there is NO legal recourse in a civilized country like Canada...

As far as the High River incident goes... they fucking lied about it... They continue to lie. They're the dildo's of Law enf. I've had some professional dealing with a few RCMP... I have no respect for them. |

Everyone should watch this whole video. It's not just about some isolated thing that happened to a town in Canada ... it is a lesson in what can - and maybe even WILL - happen to us one fine day here in the States. We are just a heartbeat away from seeing this same kind of thing in our own neighborhoods.
Three vital truths come out of this experience: 1. The police are paranoid about gun owners. Everywhere. No matter what they say. And in a way they view us as an enemy. 2. Under the guise of "public safety" they can, and will, violate the hell out of our "rights", and feel justified in doing so. 3. People who think "Americans wouldn't do this kind of thing to other Americans" are woefully naive. Canadians (who aren't really so different from us) did it to other Canadians. And if you think the U. S. military, for example, wouldn't follow orders to violate your rights, you're kidding yourself. We're teetering on the brink. |

There's a whole lot of truth to the old saying that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. These same scoundrels in charge will wonder why no one of sound mind will want to evacuate during the next emergency. |
